The Toronto Maple Leafs blue-line is in shambles, and they had to dress William Lagesson, Simon Benoit and Connor Timmins for two games so far, including against the Boston Bruins this weekend.
While the Toronto Maple Leafs actually got a pretty decent performance out of their emergency defensemen, the team is desperate for reinforcements.
The problem for the Leafs is that they need multiple pieces for their blue-line, which means that instead of shooting for an actual impact player, they are going to try and bring in two average players.
This is a huge mistake, and the Leafs are lucky that they couldn’t work out their terrible trade with the Calgary Flames for Tanev and Zadorov.
